How to Build a Segmentation Program That Actually Reduces Risk 

A practical path from visibility to policy enforcement.

Segmentation tops the CISO’s priority list every year, but most programs stall before they deliver real risk reduction.

Join Shankar Somasundaram, CEO and Founder of Asimily, for a practical look at what separates segmentation programs that actually reduce risk from the ones that stay stuck at "we have an inventory."

Most segmentation programs fail not because teams lack intent, but because the gap between knowing your risk and enforcing policy is enormous. Policies require manual translation, deployment risks breaking operations, and static rules go stale the moment the network changes.

In this session, Shankar will walk through where that gap occurs, and what it takes to close it completely – with a look at how Asimily's Segmentation Orchestration replaces multi-quarter manual effort with always-current enforcement.

• Why segmentation stays a top priority every year, and why the gap between visibility and enforcement is the real blocker

• How to confidently implement segmentation without fear of blocking legitimate user access

• Where traditional and manual approaches break down for non-standard devices
  

• How policies can be generated automatically from actual network behavior, simulated before deployment, and continuously adapted as the network evolves
  

• What's changing as IT, IoT, and OT networks blend across care delivery and production, and how always-current enforcement keeps pace

Why Asimily?

SECURITY STARTS WITH VISIBILITY

DON'T LET VULNERABILITIES MANAGE YOU

MINIMIZE INCIDENT HARM, SPEED INVESTIGATIONS, AND RECOVER FAST

ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS

Keep every device you depend on up and operational, starting with an automated inventory. Protect them all via a single dashboard, with actionable information ready for your whole team.

To threat actors, all connected devices are simply attack vectors. Asimily helps end the IoT and IoMT security deficit by prioritizing and mitigating the most critical vulnerabilities, not simply managing them. 

At Asimily, we understand the importance of efficient, timely incident response (IR) across large and diverse device landscapes. That's why we provide a comprehensive solution that enables IR teams from detection to resolution. 

Achieve regulatory compliance with industry best practices (such as NIST) for risk reduction for devices.
